More information
This ref. 14790 retains the more sober "Petite Tapisserie" motif, which forms a square and a lozenge, as seen in previous executions of the Royal Oak.
This particular piece features a vibrant blue dial, rarely seen, dubbed by collectors "Yves Klein", for its resemblance to the deep blue hue first mixed by French artist Yves Klein. Evidence suggests that the dial was manufactured by Stern Creations, the famous dial manufacturer who also made the dials of the original Royal Oak ref. 5402.

The name Royal Oak (royal oak) has origins back in 1651, when Charles II of England, found shelter from Cromwell’s troops, above an oak tree, where he stayed all night.
The oak tree took the name "Royal Oak", and marked a new starting point for the reconquest of the throne
